Letter: GOP shows disdain for our nation of laws

The actions of the House GOP last week were more than a publicity stunt, they were a violation. There is nothing that can be held up in defense of its actions and every reason to worry about the possible damage it has done.

Those members should be held accountable for attempting to obstruct justice as well as endangering national security. The founders of our country rebelled against a system unjust for many reasons, but one we should still be mindful of is the divine right of kings.

We are a nation of laws and a key principle of that is that no one is above them. No one expects this administration to punish them; they serve its master unthinkingly to the detriment of our entire country.

Congress must act to stop the breaches of its own before we all suffer the consequences. I urge Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Jefferson Township, to take heed.
